That's the point of this standard, at least in theory. Same with the older but still common ZigBee standard.

Perplexica is one example. I also seem to remember there is some way to integrate it with SearxNG which is a self hosted meta search engine.

I'm going to have to try the selfhosted variants now. What a huge piece of shit.

This exactly, as long as your phone has at least one frequency band of the provider, then it will at least connect to their network and allow you to access data.

In the implementation in Australia, you actually will lose data access too if you're blocked (wifi still works of course). That strikes me as kind of dumb, but I guess they don't want to give the impression that it's supported at all, since the whole thing is about emergency calling access.

It's not just the bands. You could have all of the needed bands and still be blocked (and you could me missing one and just get a warning).

that I put on a SD card for my phone

Pretty soon you won't be able to buy a phone without expandable storage. On the plus side, internal storage is going up, but it's still not big enough to hold a complete FLAC collection if it's a reasonably large library. You can re-encode your library just for phone usage, but that's a bit annoying to maintain.

Also, I've found all of the offline music players on Android kind of suck, and don't support the workflow I like or have bugs.

Jellyfin

Use the desktop client or jellyfin-mpv-shim and you'll get HEVC support and superior image quality.

Can you imagine a world without influencers?

Do you have any recommendations for a Perplexity.ai type setup? It's one of the few recent innovations I've found useful. I've heard of Perplexica and a few others, but not sure what is the best approach.

But yes, Im pretty sure my little server I use explicitly for jellyfin will be fine

I'm not sure why you wouldn't use Linux for that. You can make some arguments against Linux on the desktop (although I don't agree) but Linux as a server has been clearly superior for a long time.

Perplexity seems to work but I don’t like the idea of AI giving me “facts” since they are mostly based on other AI posts

It helps that it gives actual sources, so you can verify them. But yeah, not helpful if all of the sources end up being AI posts.
